Scope
Seventeenth-Century French Studies (SCFS), which first appeared in 1979, is the annual journal of the Society for Seventeenth-Century French Studies. Peer-reviewed by an internationally-based editorial board and invited specialists, the journal publishes high-quality original articles in English and French on a broad range of literary, cultural, historical and theoretical topics relating to early modern France. Studies taking up questions of gender, iconography, body criticism, economics, history of costume and the poetics of memory have recently appeared in broadly themed volumes devoted to: the knowledge economy in the long seventeenth century, conversation, gossip and the voice, image and the imagination, and pedagogy and practice.
SCFS welcomes the work of both established figures and young researchers, and has historically provided a unique forum for the strong British tradition of scholarship focusing on the great seventeenth-century French classics, encouraged and supported by the Society’s first president, Roy C Knight. Currently, the journal’s increasingly broad and inclusive stance has widened to include the full range of early modern literary, musical, artistic, political and material concerns. Interdisciplinary studies are particularly welcomed. Some highlights of recent volumes include John Lyons on Lafayette and gemology, Wendy Perkins on women and silence, Peter Bayley on the education of princes, Matt Senior on anatomy at the Jardin du roi, Michael Moriarty on images and idols, Jan Clarke on actresses, Delphine Denis on Scudéry, and Alain Viala on stagings of Racine. Fully international in scope, the journal has encouraged contributions from throughout the UK, the US, France, Portugal, Sweden, Turkey, and the Republic of Ireland, among others.
